Star Trek currently holds the record for the most novels based upon a single fictional universe.[[Citing sources citation needed]] According to Paramount Pictures, owners of the Star Trek franchise, no original novel is considered canon, a decision that has sparked debate amongst Trek book fans for years.

Star Trek

Whitman Books (1968)

Bantam episode adaptations (1967-1978)

All by James Blish except where noted.

Numbered Pocket Books novels

The adaptation of Star Trek: The Motion Picture was actually published more than a year before the Bantam Books series of novels concluded, after which the Pocket Books series continued with book No. 2. A number of novels have been republished with modified titles to reflect their retroactive addition to an arc or a series, such as "The Yesterday Saga", "World's Apart", and "Rihannsu" which include novels that were original published as standalones.

After Vol. 97, Pocket Books stopped numbering its Star Trek releases. Further issues are listed in the Unnumbered section, below.

Unnumbered

The \"Shatnerverse\"

Beginning in 1996, William Shatner, the actor who played Captain Kirk, launched a series of novels, often referred to as the "Shatnerverse" novels. They work on the premise that Captain Kirk was brought back to life after the events of the movie and are not generally considered part of the continuity established by Pocket Books for their novels. The books are co-authored by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.

Vanguard

is a "spinoff" of the original series, set aboard a starbase and featuring a new mix of characters, e.g. instead of focusing on a first officer, engineer, and science officer, the main characters include an intelligence officer, a reporter, and a JAG officer.
